Try to put a file in /etc/thunderbird/pref, which is used by the ubuntu
thunderbird with the following content:

//
pref("print.print_landscape", false);
pref("print.print_paper_size_height", "297,00");
pref("print.print_paper_size_width", "210,00");
pref("print.print_paper_size_unit", 1);
pref("print.print_paper_size_type", 1);
pref("print.print_paper_name", "iso_a4");
//
pref("print.postscript.paper_name",    "iso_a4");
pref("print.postscript.orientation",   "portrait");

That should work as a default for the first use of a printer.

Bug description:
  (Default warty install, dist-upgraded to hoary, language chosen is
  Norwegian)

  about:config reports that print.postscript.paper_size is letter, which is 
wrong
  for Norway, it should be A4.  It should probably look at LC_PAPER or 
/etc/papersize
